Ill be coming down whenever possible .... just did my ankle in so i cant even drive my new toy for roughly 6 weeks :( typical! .... ill have to hobble round it modifying best i can :approve:
Hello all,
Long time lurker just bought a 172FF (ill get pics up soon). Used to own an LCR till recently and needed a change plus cash in my pocket so finally took the plunge! (BIG thank you to 182Surrey from helping me out! much appreciated!)
A couple of you might remember me from a South...
How about i do you a swap? ill take your 182 and 2 grand and you can have my 275bhp Leon Cupra R ;) its black and FAST
What you think? lol :clown:
I could send you some pics if your interested....
Id love a trophy i just figured they were way out my budget. Guess im looking in the wrong places!
Other than Autotrader and Pistonheads what sites do you guys check for good value RS clios?
I stand corrected... i got ALOT more searching to do till i can understand what the best mods to get would be. Looks like decent coillies would pretty much eat my mod budget ..... makes the 182 look more attractive.
That £4K one mentioned looked good (but almost too cheap) ill have to keep my...
When i said "right" collies i meant a little better than standard :)
Id love to pretty much build myself a 172 but sadly i dont have the time or money to dedicate to it. Maybe when i have my own driveway i could look into a hardcore 172 but for now my budget/girlfriend wont allow it :nono...
Would have loved to but those bills keep coming and i need some cash to chuck at them. A clio is roughly half the cost of maintaining, servicing, fueling the cupra (I have a VERY heavy right foot lol)
I could try .... is the 182 worth the extra 1K on average? i dont see a huge difference in them other than 10bhp, cruise control and twin pipes.
I understand they are supposed to handle better than a standard 172 but with the right collies (say £500 weitec's) would the 172 handle better?
Hello all, just wondering what you would do in my situation.
I am (hopefully) selling my LCR soon so that i can free up some cash and also buy an RS clio. Thing is im really undecided what to do with my £5500-6K budget. Do I:
a) Blow the lot on a mint 182 :cool:
b) Spend £4K ish on a 172...
Glad im not the only on whos done this ..... I was worried about selling mine for a clio but from the sounds of things its all win win!
(REALLY could do with the extra £££in my pocket!)
Thanks for the comments fellas!
cheers guys!
Ill keep my eyes open.... Think ill pop down one of the local meets to show my face around (fingers crossed with a 182 next to me) :)
Whats the first mod people get in general? Induction kit i suppose.
Ill do a few searches and see what pops up but can anyone recomend...
Hi all,
I currently have a much loved Leon Cupra R and have decided to sell it (after LOTS of thought!) :( .... Good news is im looking to get a 182 instead :cool:
My question is, is there anything i should look out for when buying one to save me from getting stung later?
Cheers...
